JFC indeed. Is a green pen not ever going to be upsetting, even after years of having everything marked in green? Red isn't inherently negative; corrections are.

Untrue. Red represents the
blood -- the very lifeforce of your paper -- running over at the violence performed at the hand of one's professor.
But, keep it. I love when the the Professor hands back papers (or leaves 'em in a stack by the door) and the kids who wouldn't shut up in class because they thought they knew everything realize that everyone has seen their work murdered.

POLL: Are you a paper writer or a test-taker?
I hate tests. I've always been a paper writer. I can take tests and have always done quite well, but I think they're almost always stupid. Papers allow you to demonstrate what you know about a topic in your own way (shaped by how you can best spit back the professor's words when need be).
